The 2014-2015 school year is underway!I would like to compliment our staff and
students for getting back into the routine so quickly and efficiently.We are very fortunate at Madison to have a
high participation rate in extracurricular activities.Research has shown that students who
participate in extracurricular activities perform at a higher level in the
classroom.In addition to a stronger
academic performance, students increase their skill level in the areas of
responsibility, respect for others, handling adversity, and time
management.If you are not a sports fan,
there are still several opportunities for you to get involved in
extracurricular activities.These
include but are not limited to:Ag Club,
Vocal Music, Band, Quiz Bowl, Debate, Forensics, etc.

The Kansas State High School Activities Association
recognizes high school students and their teams for their work in the classroom
as well as in the athletic arena.USD
#386 Madison-Virgil teams were recently recognized for their efforts in the
classroom this past spring.The
following teams were recognized with the Distinguished Scholastic Award from
the KSHSAA.Distinguished Scholars have
an average team GPA of 3.25 – 4.0.Please help me in congratulating these student athletes on their
outstanding accomplishments.The USD
#386 winners along with their team GPA are listed below:
